General description

4-Nitroaniline forms molecular adducts with 4-amino benzoic acid. It reacts with nitrite ion in hydrochloric acid medium to form 4-nitrophenyldiazonium chloride, which couples with naphth-1-ol in alkaline medium to give a purple azo dye. Photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitroaniline in the presence of TiO2 suspensions in a batch and continuous annular reactor has been studied.

Application

4-Nitroaniline can be used to prepare:
  • p

  • -Phenylenediamine using various catalytic systems.
  • Poly(4-nitroaniline) thin films for optoelectronic applications.
  • An adduct with picric acid.
  • A crystalline N-(4-nitrophenyl)-β-alanine by reacting with acrylic acid.
